Golgi complex is a complex cytoplasmic structure made up of smooth membrane saccules or cisternae, a network of tubules with vesicles and vacuoles, which takes part in membrane transformation, secretion and production of complex biochemicals. One face of Golgi apparatus is convex (forming, cis) face while the other is concave (maturing, trans) face. Cis face receives contents from endoplasmic reticulum which then reaches trans face and bud off as secretory vesicles.
